Most welcome Orcho. With the laying of the cattleya on the scoria ------ my approach is similar, except I just use slightly smaller pieces than that, and I just pot the catt in the scoria ---- roots and all. Permanently.
And then in my tropical conditions, I just focus most of the watering around the outter portions (toward the rim) of the pot ...... the outter region of scoria that is. That keeps enough scoria wet and the pot humid. I can also apply a little water (if I want to) further in - toward the plant.
And if the roots eventually grow out to the very wettest regions ----- then those roots appear to get used to that outter region - and have no problems.
Whenever I pot a catt, it pretty much stays in the same plastic pot, unless it outgrows the pot. I find it is no problem (and actually quite good) to pot a catt in a really big pot. Although - too big a pot can mean a waste of resources like scoria and water heheh. So big pot is ok ...... up to a limit that is, as in to not overdo things heheh.
